Sharjah Police has arrested an Afghan national for helping a housemaid to flee her employer.

An Emirati had filed a complaint at Dhaid police station that his housemaid had escaped in a Toyota Corolla car with the help of people unknown to him.

Police found the housemaid together with the Afghan who had promised to find her a better-paying job.

Colonel Ahmed Saeed bin Hareb of Sharjah Police urged the public to cooperate in reporting runaway maids and warned people not to help them to escape from their employers or provide shelter to them, since it is illegal.

He also urged employers to ensure good treatment of their housemaid and pay their wages on time so as not to force them to flee.
